Halcyon Days Big Little Things Chenin Blanc 2023
A vibrant, textural Chenin that dances between citrus brightness and gentle phenolic grip. Expect green apple, mandarin peel, subtle honeyed notes, and a whisper of herbal spice. A result of blending direct‑press fruit with a portion fermented on skins. Dry, energetic, lightly cloudy, and full of natural‑wine charm, it’s a Chenin that’s both refreshing and quietly complex.
Halcyon Days is the passion project of Amy and Olly Hopkinson‑Styles, who met between Spain and London before being pulled home to Hawke’s Bay to make wine and raise sprogs. They’re exceptional storytellers in their own right, so we’ll let them have the last word:
“Halcyon Days wine is made with organic grapes from Biogro certified vineyards. The grapes are handpicked, naturally fermented, and bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no additions. We use time honoured methods to create striking wines that are a dynamic expression of Halcyon’s place: Heretaunga/Hawke’s Bay”.
